roasted egg

Oven-browned breakfast item

A roasted egg is an egg cooked in its shell using dry heat—typically in an oven or over coals—rather than boiled in water.

The method produces a slightly different texture and deeper flavor than boiling.

Roasted eggs appear in various cuisines, notably the slow-cooked eggs in Ethiopian doro wat and the brown eggs of a Passover seder plate.
